Burping bottles

If my plastic beer bottles get really hard after 3 or 4 days should I burp them and leave them out for conditioning or should I move them to refrigerator for conditioning

Re: Can i reuse Alum beer bottles

The aluminum bottles used in coors light have been working ok when I reused. I have been getting a good seal on the cans. On the last batch the cans got really hard and I put them in the fridge. They were really good

In fear of having micro cracks in the other bottles I rebottled into mason jars with plastic caps with a seal. Anyway so Now I added a teaspoon of sugar to each.

Flat beer

Can I add sugar to re-carbonate. I changed bottles after conditioning for 14 days and the beer is flat. It would be alcohol abuse to throw out the beer.

Re: Temp for adding wort

I am using the beer demon extract. So my main concern was that the directions said boil the 4 cups of water and take the pot off the heat then add the cans of extract. My question is what temp does the water have to be before adding the extract.

Newbie mistakes

Use plastic bottles until you get the hang of it, Glass will explode.
Use correct amount of priming sugar, to much can cause a fizzy mess.
I may be wrong but to much priming sugar may of caused some of my bottles to explode
. Good thing i was storing them in a plastic container.
